Description
Saturday tidy has a habit of turning into a living-room dance lesson when Timba a la Americana goes on. Harold Lopez-Nussa leans into Cuban timba with a modern jazz engine, all quick pivots and unhurried melody. The title track snaps to attention when the piano slips a tumbao accent under a surging groove, and you can feel the band grin in the pocket. Then “Mal du País” softens the shoulders; his touch is lyrical without losing the pulse.
This LP pressing gives the music breathing room; imaging is wide and the low end sits deeper, so congas and bass don’t blur. It belongs next to Chucho Valdés and the 90s timba wave, but Lopez-Nussa’s harmonic choices land closer to contemporary US jazz clubs than retro nostalgia.
If you’d rather sort it from the couch, you can buy Harold Lopez-Nussa records online with us.
Side to side, the pacing is smart, alternating hard-charging street feel with piano-led reveries that reward a full playthrough. The band locks tight, yet there’s air in the arrangements, and you hear small decisions—hi-hat bark, tumbaos curling around the melody—carry real weight. It’s a vibrant, conversational set that still plays nice at small-party volume. Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
